METHODOLOGY
Restaurant equipment values reflect brand, condition, and current used-market demand
Commercial food-service equipment loses value quickly in the first years of service, then holds a durable used-market floor tied to brand reputation and remaining service life. Our appraisers weigh the make and model, hours of use, kitchen conditions, and the depth of the local resale market to reach a defensible fair market value.
We inspect the equipment where it operates, documenting condition, functionality, and installed configuration. Built-in assets such as walk-in boxes, exhaust hoods, and fire-suppression systems are valued in place, while portable smallwares and specialty machinery are valued against comparable sales.
Every valuation is prepared in accordance with USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice), the framework established by The Appraisal Foundation, so the report stands up for insurance claims, SBA lending, business sales, and estate matters.

FAQ
Common Questions About Restaurant Equipment Appraisals
How do you value used restaurant equipment?
We value each asset against recent sales of comparable make and model equipment, then adjust for age, hours of use, condition, and installed configuration. Built-in assets like walk-in coolers and exhaust hoods are valued in place. The result is a defensible fair market value supported by market evidence.
Can you appraise a full restaurant's equipment for a business sale?
Yes. We inventory and value the complete food-service package, from cooking lines and refrigeration to bar and dishwashing systems, in a single USPAP-compliant report. Buyers, sellers, and SBA lenders rely on these valuations to support the equipment portion of a business sale.
Do you appraise restaurant equipment for insurance claims?
We prepare valuations for both coverage schedules and loss or total-loss claims, documenting each asset's condition and replacement basis so your carrier has a standards-compliant report to work from.
How long does a restaurant equipment appraisal take?
Timing depends on scope. A single kitchen is often completed within a week, while larger multi-location or high-asset engagements typically take two to three weeks. Tell us your deadline, such as a closing or filing date, and we confirm up front whether we can meet it. Expedited service is available.
Do you appraise leased or financed restaurant equipment?
Yes. We value equipment regardless of how it is titled or financed, and the report identifies each asset so lenders and lessors have clear documentation of the collateral's fair market value.
